The News on Ghostbusters 3 Is That There Is No News. You're Welcome!

By Stacey Nosek | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (67)



ghostbusters0330.jpg

Harold Ramis talks about a possible Ghostbusters 3, which is, of course, nothing but unsubstantiated rumors and fiddle-faddle at this point. It’s looking less likely that it could be another Apatow circle jerk, however. (ScreenRant)

Every time I post something disparaging about Katherine Heigl at least one commenter comes out of the woodwork to defend her. But seriously? It’s stories like this that makes everyone fucking loathe her so much. I stand by my hate. (Webster’s)

My roommate is blogging the Philadelphia Film Festival this year, so go ahead over and check it out. Just, uh, try to ignore reviews of stuff we’ll eventually be posting here on Pajiba. kthx! (FestPhanatic)

Here’s an article which poses the question: “What exactly does 3-D add to a movie?” I don’t know, but after I saw My Bloody Valentine I pretty much decided that I only wanted to watch movies in 3-D from now on. (RopeOfSilicon)

Matt Taibbi tears an AIG exec a new one. (QuizLaw)

The Sham-Wow and Slap-Chop guy got into a physical altercation with a hooker last month. I can’t wait to see how this inspires a helpful gadget invention. (Celebitchy)

99 “Seinfeld” references! Can you get them all? And before somebody points it out, yes, I have expressed distaste for Jerry Seinfeld before. But I like the show OK enough. (YBNBY)

What would you rather hear about? Queen Latifah’s new play-on-words titled rom-com or a dog milking a goat? Well, the decision has been made for you. (FilmDrunk)

Bill O’Reilly says that he’s boycotting that communist Sean Penn’s movies. I’m sure Mr. Penn is absolutely heartbroken. (DListed)

Oh. My. God. I think I would literally step over my own grandmother for a pint of this Haagen Dazs ginger ice cream. (TIB)

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Inside the Peep factory in Bethlehem, PA! PEEEEPS! (SeriousEats)

Here’s an interesting clip that compares today’s blogging to newsprint of the 1800’s. Everything has come full circle, people!

I also hate Jerry Seinfeld but don't mind the (still hugely overrated) show.

Posted by: James at March 30, 2009 1:05 PM

I've never been a Heigl defender, but I've also never been so annoyed by her that I felt the need to chime in on all the Rainbow Killer stuff. But after I saw that quote? Shut the FUCK UP HEIGL.

I thought for a second she was talking about high-class hooker problems, though, and at least that amused me. You know, before all the rage.

Posted by: SaBrina at March 30, 2009 1:11 PM

Luckily for that filthy hooker, her blood flow was stopped by the most absorbent, product on the market. ShamWOW! after every KaPOW!

“What exactly does 3-D add to a movie?”

Depth, the third dimension.

You're welcome, RopeOfSilicon. I live to serve.

Posted by: Jay at March 30, 2009 1:29 PM

I'm so printing that Seinfeld poster.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 1:30 PM

Until I can get 3-d glasses in my prescription, I stand opposed to all 3-D films.

Posted by: WestCoastPat at March 30, 2009 1:32 PM

The new hornrim style glasses fit pretty well over one's own glasses, unlike those yellow headband jobbies.

Sadly, no one seemed to get my Seinfeld reference over on the Emma Stone page. My day is totally ruined now!

Posted by: Jay at March 30, 2009 1:35 PM

Apparently the, ahem, lady of the night BIT Mr. ShamWow's TONGUE and hung on so persistently that he had to PUNCH HER SEVERAL TIMES to dislodge her. Which, I have encountered some bad kissers, but never ones that infuriated me to the point of sustained violence.

Posted by: Smithy at March 30, 2009 1:46 PM

Katherine Heigl is like that friend every woman has at one point of her life who is ridiculously self-absorbed and blissfully unaware of it. All of her stories begin with "I looked great" or "they all had crushes on me" or "I was killing it." Chances are you'll put up with her for years before you realize you have every right to tell her to shut up and later replace her with another friend who's as openly insecure and self-deprecating as you are.

*sigh* I wish I'd gone to a co-ed high school...

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 1:54 PM

The ShamWow-biter's mug shot looks so smug and kind of self-satisfied that I kinda like her just on principle. Wonder if he did something crappy enough to "deserve" it.

I get the sense from the Heigl quote that she was kind of trying to be cool and poke fun at her own complaining, but she's so profoundly yucky that she even messes that up.

Posted by: king at March 30, 2009 2:02 PM

*sigh* I wish I'd gone to a co-ed high school...

But then you wouldn't have been deprived of manly men and, therefore, would not have developed an unhealthy obsession with Pajihunks.

Everything happens for a reason.

Posted by: admin at March 30, 2009 2:09 PM

Does anyone else have motion sickness and hate this whole 3-D movement. I want to be able to see a movie with my nephews and not have to leave every 5 minutes to puke.

Posted by: Jadashay at March 30, 2009 2:13 PM

*sigh* I wish I'd gone to a co-ed high school...

I feel your pain, honey. *terrorist fist bump*

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at March 30, 2009 2:15 PM

I'd like to think that the last thing I'd do should a a high-fallutin' hooker be clamped down on my tongue, would be to punch her in the face.

Say, Conrad - didn't Connie run into a similar problem(s) back in her "working" days? HEEEEY-OOOOH!

Posted by: Skitz at March 30, 2009 2:21 PM

I wonder if Heigl wasn’t so hot would she get all this hate? Face it people, if Heigl was average you would all you women hate her? I say no, hot women are always attacked, and I’m not surprised that some of the women of pajiba hate her.

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 2:40 PM

I actually enjoyed my single-sex high school. I saw more penii than I intended to, but whatever, it was a learning experience.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 30, 2009 2:41 PM

Also, on reflection, I think that Heigl is actually Charlie from High Fidelity. I do not mean that as some sort of insult on the novel/film of same name, but her ability to be self-absorbed without realizing it is astounding.

"Kids are too...what's the word...time-consuming."

Also, I like to think of John Cusack leaning out of a window and calling her a fucking bitch. But that's just because I'm a misogynist.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 30, 2009 2:43 PM

The Sham-Wow and Slap-Chop guy got into a physical altercation with a hooker last month. I can’t wait to see how this inspires a helpful gadget invention.

That has got to be the most surreal, hilarious thing I've ever read. I love it. LOVE IT. Did they use their wares for the rumble? Who did she go with? did she need cleaning or chopping? TELL ME MORE!

And Peeps...you know, I had no idea Peeps existed until I went to college in the US and when I found out...well let's just say it's one of those moments in a foreigner's life where you just stop and go "What the FUCK, Americans?"

I'm not surprised Pookie knows FUCK ALL about women.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 2:44 PM

Pookie, I don't hate hot women, because we're usually not competing for the same men.

Posted by: SaBrina at March 30, 2009 2:57 PM

turns out the lead is mis-leading. Shammy and Slappy are one-in-the same dude.

Slampy hires hooker.

Slapmy kisses hooker.

hooker bites Slapmpmy.

Slampmpy beats up hooker.

Gotta say it's one HELL of a story.

Posted by: Soylent Green is Sheeple at March 30, 2009 3:10 PM

I don't hate hot women. Heck, I'm best friends with a hot chick. She gets all the gorgeous self-absorbed assholes while I get their okay-looking best friends who happen to have a sense of humor about themselves.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 3:11 PM

It's one of those moments in a foreigner's life where you just stop and go "What the FUCK, Americans?"

I feel that way whenever I read the phrase "they've found a way to deep fry ____________ "

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 3:13 PM

Oh, warning for anyone who's thinking about becoming best friends with a hot chick with doesn't think she's hot and actually cares more about personality than looks: you WILL be competing with her for the same guys, and you will lose.

I think I need a new best friend...

Posted by: SaBrina at March 30, 2009 3:14 PM

Sofía, I have that same reaction to the deep-frying, and I live here.

Posted by: SaBrina at March 30, 2009 3:16 PM

"I wonder if Heigl wasn’t so hot would she get all this hate? Face it people, if Heigl was average you would all you women hate her? I say no, hot women are always attacked, and I’m not surprised that some of the women of pajiba hate her."

I thought for a brief shining moment that you were wondering whether Heigl would have a career were she not so beautiful (a resounding hell-to-the-no), but I see that's not the case. Oh, please - the female Pajibans love lots of hot women who we think are cool. We don't hate Heigl because she's beautiful, we hate her because she's a twat.

Posted by: samantha t at March 30, 2009 3:16 PM

SaBrina, I think looks become an issue between friends when one of the parties makes a big deal about them. My best friend knows she's beautiful but she knows her looks don't impress me at all, and I shrug off whatever compliments she might send my way. In the end, looks are our last possible topic of conversation and we've never really competed for a man's attention because we're into different types of guys.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 3:21 PM

Guys, just ignore it. It's completely fucking pointless, because it's the same as the "you're just JEALOUS!" argument 12 year olds use to dismiss criticism of anyone they like. It makes no sense, it's stupid, cheap and easy. So there's no point in arguing.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 3:22 PM

So far 3-D is always an option, you can see everything in 2-D and keep your guts intact.

I love it myself, though.

Posted by: Jay at March 30, 2009 3:26 PM

Why won't you let us have a healthy debate on the matter, figgy? Gosh, it's like, you totally hate me 'cause I'm beautiful or something.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 3:26 PM

CATFIGHT!

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 30, 2009 3:34 PM

I totally do.

(I hope you don't think I was dismissing the talk between you and Sabrina, just refusing to buy into Pookie's cheap generalization, because he'll never be convinced anyway)

Go back to pretty land. I hate you.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 3:35 PM

after I saw My Bloody Valentine I pretty much decided that I only wanted to watch movies in 3-D from now on.

No wonder I *heart* Stacey. I had the same reaction! 3D FOREVAH!!

Also, I wear glasses (nearsighted). They fit fine over my regular glasses, are a fun Blues Brothers RayBan style, and I haven't had any issues with scratched lenses. I also suffer from motion sickness. None of these things tainted my enjoyment of either Valentine or Coraline.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at March 30, 2009 3:38 PM

SHIT GUYS! CATFIGHT! IT'S ON!

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 30, 2009 3:38 PM

I am feeling so belligerent today. Lack of sleep does that to me. I really want to smack someone.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 3:38 PM

That's OK, figs. As Judge Judy says: Beauty fades, dumb is forever. So I better milk this baby for all it's worth before it's too late!!!!

*whores away*

"And Peeps...you know, I had no idea Peeps existed until I went to college in the US and when I found out...well let's just say it's one of those moments in a foreigner's life where you just stop and go 'What the FUCK, Americans?'"

figgy, I was spawned here, and I don't get it either. If I wanted a bitter, crusty, tasteless waste of calories, I'd gnaw on The Heigel.

(Discloseure: I actually have a lot more love for Heigel than I do for Peeps.)

Posted by: frumpiefox at March 30, 2009 3:50 PM

The moment I see women start attacking average looking women is the moment that I’ll be convinced the you all hate Heigl not because she’s beautiful but because she’s a bitch. Average looking women don’t get attacked, even the bitchy ones. I've seen beautiful women get attacked for nothing at all but for being beautiful

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 3:52 PM

Nice try Jakes. I was hoping for blood (or at least sexy hair pulling)too but sometimes these Pajibettes just insist on being way to nice to each other.

It's eroding my faith in bitchiness.

Posted by: admin at March 30, 2009 3:53 PM

Hee. I love you, Sofia.

If I wanted a bitter, crusty, tasteless waste of calories, I'd gnaw on The Heigel.

^awesome. I bet she tastes like cigarettes and wet dog.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 3:57 PM

I got a pot belly, but the only thing that keeps the ladies coming back is my long cock. Am I mad because I'm average looking? No. I've accepted my lot in life and I'm happy.

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 3:57 PM

Well, admin, according to Pookie's theory it's just because we're all average-looking.
 
 
 
 
 
 

.............................................not.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 3:59 PM

No no no Sofia, I didn't say the women of Pajiba are average looking. besides smart women turn me on, I like the take charge attitude they have. Take charge as in when they call me and tell me to get dressed because they want me to come and put my hammer down. they want me to come and stand up in that pussy.

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 4:04 PM

I didn't realize violence against women becomes funny if they're prostitutes.

Posted by: Kelly at March 30, 2009 4:12 PM

I was pointing out what admin said about Pajibettes being nice to each other, and according to your theories it's because we're average-looking.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm very interested in what BarbadoSlim has to say about all this. Also, his take on Pookie's long penis.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 4:12 PM

Then what happens next is your doing, Sofia.

Posted by: Jay at March 30, 2009 4:17 PM

Will you please excuse me, Jay? I'm trying to make a comeback here.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 4:22 PM

I have been known to make ShamWow jokes that involve Vince/Bobby Peru sopping up the puke in Sailor and Lula's motel room.

That's why I belong at Pajiba.

Posted by: Stacy D at March 30, 2009 4:28 PM

Now, um, carry on with the slapfight....

Posted by: Stacy D at March 30, 2009 4:31 PM

Sofía, we hardly ever talk about looks either and for the most part don't compete for guys. Up until recently, she had a serious boyfriend and I wasn't that interested in men anyways. I'm just a touch angry right now since there was a... triangular situation. It's not even based on looks, really, but I'm not looking forward to future incidents, since apparently we do tend to like the same guys.

Posted by: SaBrina at March 30, 2009 5:01 PM

Yes Sofia, my dick is long. My dick is so long, pulling out of Iraq will take a shorter time than me pulling out of a piece of pussy.

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 5:02 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't find Katherine Heigl hot? Seriously, she's pretty and she's got nice skin and big boobs but that's about it. She's certainly not drool-worthy.

That being said, I don't get all the hoopla about the comment she made. Was it the "high-class" problems thing? It sounded like a joke to me. I dunno, I feel like people are just generally picking on her now.

Though I do believe all the rumours about her being insufferable and demanding on-set.

Posted by: BMG at March 30, 2009 5:05 PM

I don't usually jump into the fracas but I feel that I need to clarify: I don't think Katherine Heigl is exceptionally attractive. I don't think she's ugly -- I do think she's about average looking. Also, she looks really, really old for her age. She's the same age as me yet probably looks ten years older. See kids? That's what smoking does to you. Stay away from cigarettes. "The more you know."

Posted by: Stacey at March 30, 2009 5:29 PM

Interesting Ghostbusters article. Question: if Rudd, Rogen and Franco were going to play the three, what kind of character would each get? Because obviously they have to be modeled a little bit after the originals. A brain, a sucker, and a smartass.
Or, who would be the best 3 or 4 actors to star in the possible remake?
I'm avoiding my studies, talk to me about this.

Posted by: Sharon at March 30, 2009 5:36 PM

Yeah Stacey, sure, you look better than Heigl and Sofia wants to use a strap-on on figgy.

Posted by: Pookie at March 30, 2009 5:37 PM

To tell you the truth Pookie it seems likes it's the guys who hate Heigl more anyway. I think you like getting verbally spanked by the women of Pajibaland.

Posted by: grinder at March 30, 2009 6:43 PM

Katherine Heigl should be admired not derided. What is shameful is that supposedly people of intelligence would read something like the website that was linked and actually make anything of it and turn it into some Heigl hate campaign. She could save 10000 people from starvation but someone would still take a pot shot at her. It is vindictive stuff and typical of the medial who build people up then try and shoot them down. Heigl has done zero wrong and doesn't deserve to have everything she says turned against her or quoted out of context.

Posted by: Maj at March 30, 2009 7:01 PM

Wait. Why should she be admired? Because she can fuck a ghost on a shitty show? O no sir. Derision is firmly in order.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 30, 2009 7:05 PM

I can't stop watching that 'dog milking a goat' video. Hahahahaha!

Posted by: snapnhiss at March 30, 2009 7:18 PM

God I hate Heigl, can one of the Pajibetts punch her in the face. That's the main disadvantage of having a penis, you can't punch women in the face, even if they're the worlds biggest cunt.

Here's a list of women who some woman should punch in the face:

Michelle Malkin
Katherine Heigl
Anne Coulter
Katy Perry
Anna Farris, for agreeing to make all those fucking Scary Movie movies
Rachel Ray
Katherine Heigl, again
Nancy Pufoutenhoweveryouspellit
Britney Spears, for fucking Circus
The Simpson Sisters
anyone who has ever been on The Hills or My Super Sweet Sixteen
Katherine Heigl, on a loop

In exchange, I'll punch whoever you want in the face for you. The main advantage of being a guy is you can punch another guy in the face with significantly more force than a female, especially if he's Pete Wentz.

Posted by: George at March 30, 2009 8:03 PM

OK, Maj, I think you're taking this way too seriously. All we know about Heigl so far is that she's an actress and that nothing she's said in the last three years makes her seem like a humble, compassionate, and kind person who has a sense of humor about herself. There is no need for us to start a hate campaign against her. She's doing that all by herself. I'm not saying she's a bad person, I just think she's the Beyoncé of TV actresses. She takes herelf way too seriously and it doesn't always make her look good. I'm sure she does a lot of charity work, that's she's been through a lot to be where she is right now and that she really loves her people, blah, blah, blah, but she needs to hire someone to speak for her. Now.

Posted by: Sofía at March 30, 2009 8:18 PM

YES.

Plus, I hear she's really a man and eats babies.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 9:36 PM

One of my best mates has copped a king hit of shit lately. In addition to an inoperable brain tumour she's had for years, she now has some sort of brain atropy. And her dog got sick and the meds are only going to help him for a little while. And all the shit she went through getting diagnosed for the tumour means the tests for the brain atropy are just that much more traumatic.
I got the bright idea to send her something via email every day to give her a laugh. I promised to do this before realising I don't HAVE anything funny to send, because I'm stupid like that.
Because of Pajibalove, I haven't had to resort to those stupid fucking chain emails about kittens and rainbows. Instead, she gets stories on the worst sex-toys ever and dog armour, and it seems to be helping. (Apparently, the dog-armour guy was pretty hot. Mind you, she thinks Edward Cullen is the epitome of manhood, so I'm ignoring that one. Friendship only goes so far, even when brain-rot is involved).
So thank-you Stacy. I owe you much.

Okay, go back to your scheduled hating on Heigel/Heilg/whateverthefuckitis.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at March 30, 2009 9:46 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend, but that's really an awesome thing to do, ScienceGeek. If I were that sick nothing would make me happier than silly links and nonsense.

Posted by: figgy at March 30, 2009 10:48 PM

Uh yeah...what worthwhile service to humanity has Heigle done, exactly? I must have missed it. And if she expresses an opinion, well, so may we.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm making the effort to type this out, but I find this one quote mostly inoffensive. The other ones? Very offensive. She is not blessed with an internal monologue is my guess.

Posted by: replica at March 30, 2009 11:53 PM

Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm making the effort to type this out, but I find this one quote mostly inoffensive.

....which was why I defended it at Webster's. That was my 'be nice' for the day. I don't care for Heigl, but I figured benefit of the doubt applied in this case.

Posted by: Tarn at March 31, 2009 5:08 AM

Geroge, that may be the best punch-in-the-face list ever.
